A lovely email that came in to us today, with regards to there journey through the levels on the free Dementia Dictionary -

Dear Dementia Dictionary Admin Team,

Thank you very much for your email and for promoting me to Level 3 Dementia Interpreter.

I am delighted to have reached this milestone and truly appreciate the opportunity to learn from and contribute to the Dementia Dictionary community. It has been a rewarding experience developing a deeper understanding of the emotions and needs behind the behaviours of people living with dementia.

I am especially honoured to learn that one of my interpretations has been published in the dictionary. Knowing that my contribution has been valued by fellow interpreters and may help carers, families, and professionals better understand people living with dementia is incredibly meaningful to me.

Thank you for your encouragement, support, and the work you do to promote person-centred dementia care. I look forward to continuing my learning journey and progressing towards Level 4.

🌟 What People Are Saying About the Dementia Interpreter Experience & Dementia Dictionary 🌟

The feedback we receive from delegates completing the Dementia Interpreter Experience continues to be incredible.

"The most impactful dementia training I've ever attended."

"It completely changed the way I communicate with people living with dementia."

"Eye-opening, emotional, and something every care professional should experience."

Unlike traditional classroom-based training, the Dementia Interpreter Experience allows delegates to gain a genuine insight into how dementia may affect a person's perception of the world around them. This immersive approach helps build empathy, confidence, understanding, and more person-centred approaches to care.

Many delegates tell us they leave the experience with:

Greater empathy and understanding

Improved communication skills

Increased confidence supporting people living with dementia

Better understanding of behaviour as communication

Practical ideas they can implement immediately

The learning doesn't stop there...

The FREE Worldwide Dementia Dictionary allows delegates, families, friends, and professionals to continue their learning journey long after the training has finished.

The Dementia Dictionary helps people:

🔹 Understand dementia-related behaviours from different perspectives

🔹 Improve communication and support strategies

🔹 Access ongoing learning and resources

🔹 Progress through Dementia Interpreter levels

🔹 Achieve certifications and digital badges

Many organisations now actively promote the Dementia Dictionary to staff, families, and visitors as a valuable tool to support dementia understanding throughout their communities.

Together, the Dementia Interpreter Experience and Dementia Dictionary are helping create more compassionate, informed, and person-centred support for people living with dementia across the world.

💚 Celebrating Outstanding Commitment to Dementia Care 💚

We would like to say a huge thank you to Nightingale Court Care Home for their incredible commitment to improving dementia care and embracing the Dementia Interpreter Experience across their entire organisation.

It has been fantastic to support their team in becoming Dementia Interpreter trained, delivering the experience not only to staff, but also to families and friends, helping to create deeper understanding, stronger communication, and more meaningful connections for everyone involved.

A special mention goes to Lola Torzsa, whose passion, focus, and dedication to improving dementia care is truly inspiring. Lola is not only committed to embedding the Dementia Interpreter Experience and the Dementia Dictionary within her own service, but is also actively encouraging wider adoption across the care sector. Her vision and leadership will make a real difference to the future of dementia care.

We are incredibly proud to see Nightingale Court Care Home working towards achieving the Dementia Excellence Award, and we will continue to fully support them on this journey in every way we can.

Together, we are helping to create more understanding, more empathy, and better outcomes for people living with dementia 💚

Dementia symptoms like forgetfulness and confusion are a little easier to spot. But there are a whole host of challenges that a person can also experience that aren’t immediately obvious. This can include things like anxiety, depression and overwhelm, to name but a few.

Sometimes this experience can be likened to an iceberg, as illustrated here, showing that what is visible to others is often only a small part of someone’s reality.

If you’re living with dementia, or care for someone with dementia, what would your dementia 'iceberg' look like?

[Image description:A blue illustrated iceberg graphic with a title that reads: 'Dementia can look like...'. Text overlays the centre of the iceberg which reads: 'What people see' followed by an upwards arrow and 'What people don't see' followed by a downwards arrow. Words are placed around the top of the iceberg that read: Forgetfulness; Irritability; Impulsivity; Agitation; Repetition; Confusion; Apathy; Disinterest. Disorientation. Words placed around the bottom of the iceberg read:Depression; Anxiety; Overwhelm; Fear; Paranoia; Delirium; Grief; Stress; Low self-esteem; Delusions.]

💛 Happy Easter & A Heartfelt Thank You 💛

This Easter, we want to take a moment to recognise and celebrate the incredible individuals who care for and support people living with dementia every single day.

Your kindness, patience, and compassion bring comfort, dignity, and connection to those you support. While some people living with dementia may no longer be able to express their appreciation, please know that the care you give truly matters—and is felt in so many meaningful ways.

Through every smile, every reassuring word, and every moment of understanding, you are making a lasting difference.

From all of us in the Dementia Interpreter team, we wish you a very Happy Easter and extend our sincere thanks for everything you do.

💛 You are appreciated more than words can say. 💛

💜 To the quiet heroes caring at home… this is for you 💜

Caring for a loved one living with dementia is one of the most emotional, exhausting, and selfless things a person can do.
The long days… the sleepless nights… the moments of confusion, frustration, and sometimes heartbreak.

But also, the love, the patience, and the strength you show every single day.

Sometimes it can feel like you’re trying to understand a world that no longer makes sense.
Why are they upset?
Why do they repeat things?
Why do they wake in the night frightened?

What if those moments weren’t just behaviours… but a form of communication?

🌍 The Dementia Dictionary is a FREE worldwide app designed to help you understand exactly that.

How it can help you:
• Understand why your loved one behaves the way they do
• See the emotion behind the confusion, fear, or frustration
• Learn how dementia affects communication and memory
• Respond with confidence, calmness, and compassion
• Build stronger, more meaningful connections
• Access simple, easy-to-follow guidance anytime you need it

This isn’t about “getting it right” every time…
It’s about feeling less alone, more supported, and more confident in those difficult moments.

Because when you understand the why, everything starts to change.

You can download the Dementia Dictionary for free, anywhere in the world.

You are not just a carer.
You are someone’s comfort, their safety, their familiar face in a confusing world.

And that matters more than words can ever say. 💫

🧠 Early Signs Matter. Awareness Saves Lives.

Dementia doesn’t happen overnight. It whispers before it shouts - small changes that are often overlooked. Memory loss, confusion, mood changes… these are not “just aging.”

At ADASA, we walk alongside you on this journey - offering support and training for both caregivers and families. ❤️

If you notice the signs, act early. With the right support, care, and environment, life can still be filled with joy and dignity.
